poems from the past {#1}
I’ve decided to post some of the poems I found while looking through my old journal. They are, for the most part, extremely dark. But I needed to be heard back then, and no one would listen. I have the opportunity to use my blog now as a voice for my former self, and it’s something I feel that I need to do.
I never dated anything, so I don’t know what year some of these poems were written, but I ranged in age from 13 to 16. Starting off easy, here’s one of the more lighthearted poems:
Angel
I dreamt I was floating
on stardust…
As I wandered through paradise,
the moon whispered in my ear.
He told me secrets of love,
recipes for happiness.
Kissed by the wind, I flew through time…
Mother nature wrapped me in beauty
and I could see the eyes of god.
White and flowing,
my angel appeared.
And as he smiled, I felt
the sun flowing through my veins.
And as he held me, I smelled
the air of Heaven.
And as I wept, my stardust angel-
my moon,
my Heaven-
kissed me…
oh so tenderly…
and took me by the hand.
I followed him through an open door
to a universe changed forever.
LOVE THAT! It’s so beautiful!

Lovely poem. My favorite part is the last two lines. I can’t believe you were only a teenager when you wrote it. How funny that I just posted one of my old poems on my blog, but it is FAR sillier than yours (and obviously by a teen). It’s about Campbell’s tomato soup.

There’s something about stardust that heals us all. Floating on stardust is one of the most beautiful thoughts I can imagine. (You posted poetry on my birthday.)
